I realised that I actually don't have any classic Italian soaps in my rotation. Among the differing reviews of Cella, Valobra and Vitos, whilst browsing the web looking at some almond scented soaps to try next, I stumbled across this soap on the Barbiere di Figaro website.

It appealed to me in an intriguing way, with not much in terms of info and reviews available online other than the actual product description "TFS shaving soap in special limited edition hard shaving soap 125 grams. This shaving soap has no added fragrance and is specifically for sensitive skin with the exclusive scent of bitter almond".

Hence, after a brief moment of reflection as to whether to get it or the Barbiere di Figaro Raffinato, I decided to go for the TFS LE Pelli Sensibili Dure and placed an order. I also added the TFS Forever (Mandorla) Aftershave Balm to the order.

I was wondering if anyone else on here had tried it and what your views were. I'll be sure to provide my take on it once I receive the soap.

These were only announced a few days ago, so you may be one of the first here to try it. Let us know your impressions once you receive it. But if it's anything like the other TFS soaps, it's probably pretty darn good.

I agree with John. If TFS makes it, then I would expect it to be a great soap. I actually missed the announcement of these products as this post is the first I've even heard of them. Where did you order them from, BDF?

Product description "TFS Afteshave balm Mandorla, a nice aftershave with the wonderful characteristic almond odor. Very caring and nice after a solid shave."

Ash, you used Google Translate didn't you? The title is actually TFS Aftershave Balm Almond. Mandorla is Italian for Almond, which also explains the scent of the balm, and why I couldn't find it as I didn't use translate.
